SECTION 3 POWERDRIVE CHARGER (EXTERNAL)

DANGER
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
WARNING
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. The battery charger DC plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle (Figure 3-5, Page 3-6). Jerking or pulling the DC cord out quickly could cause arcing that could damage the plug and receptacle and could cause batteries to explode (Figure 3-6, Page 3-6).
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section includes information pertaining to service of the PowerDrive battery charger (model numbers 17930-11, 17930-18, and 17930-19). Do not attempt to service a battery charger that has not been properly identified. If a charger cannot be properly identified, contact your local Club Car dealer or distributor. The PowerDrive battery charger is automatic and has no external controls (Figure 3-1, Page 3-1). When the charger is connected, there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins. NOTE: All vehicles except Precedent: Shortly after charging begins, the charger will shut off in order to run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter returns to previous rate of charge). This will be repeated at one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle. The onboard computer, having recorded the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle was used, directs the charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger then shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging. The computer accomplishes this by detecting when the exact amount of energy necessary has been returned to the batteries.

POWERDRIVE CHARGER (EXTERNAL)
General Information
POWERDRIVE EXTERNAL CHARGER FEATURES

Charge Interlock PowerDrive battery charger DC plugs have three pins rather than two blades common on most standard charger plugs. Two of these pins are the positive and negative leads as on standard chargers; the third pin is a sensing lead that is the communication link between the charger and the onboard computer. When the charger plug is plugged into the vehicle receptacle, the onboard computer locks out the vehicle drive system. This prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle while the charger is plugged in and potentially damaging the vehicle and charger. See following WARNING. Long-Term Storage Charge IQ System, PowerDrive, and Precedent vehicles with PowerDrive chargers are designed to be left connected with AC power to the charger during off-season or long-term storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate the charger every 15 days. To return the vehicle to service, unplug the charger DC cord, wait 15 seconds for the computer to reset, and plug the charger back in. See following WARNING. This will ensure the batteries are at their optimum charge prior to returning the vehicle to service.
WARNING
The charger plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle. Jerking or pulling the DC cord out quickly could cause arcing and burning that could damage the plug and receptacle and could cause batteries to explode.
BATTERY WARNING LIGHT

Precedent, PowerDrive, PowerDrive Plus and IQ System vehicles feature a dash mounted battery warning light (above the steering column) that, when the vehicle is in operation, indicates low battery voltage or, when the vehicle is being charged, indicates a charging problem. The battery warning light is controlled by the onboard computer. When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC power to charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows: The battery warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer will retain in memory the amount of charge needed to replenish the batteries and will complete the charge during the next charge cycle. When the charger DC cord is unplugged during a charge cycle, the battery warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds (25 seconds for Precedent vehicles) if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for 60 minutes of operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to completion as soon as possible. The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals (25 seconds, at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), if the charger times out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer. The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals (25 seconds, at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), during a charge cycle (with the DC plug still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC power is restored. Page 3-2 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
The Charge Circuit
THE CHARGE CIRCUIT

The vehicle charge circuit consists of the following: charger receptacle receptacle fuse link onboard computer batteries The negative terminal of the receptacle is connected to the onboard computer. The 10-gauge black wire from the onboard computer connects to the B terminal on the speed controller, and the 6-gauge black wire (also on the controller B terminal) goes through the onboard computer and connects to the negative () post of battery no. 6. The positive terminal of the charger receptacle is connected to the positive (+) post of battery no. 1. The gray wire (sense lead) from the charger receptacle is connected to the sense lead fuse, which is connected to the gray wire from the onboard computer. If the charger works with one vehicle, but does not work with another vehicle, then most likely the problem is in the vehicle charge circuit. Check the connections between the 18-gauge gray wire from the charger receptacle, the sense lead fuse (on all vehicles except Precedent vehicles), and the 18-gauge gray wire from the onboard computer. On all vehicles except Precedent vehicles, also check connections of the fuse link located on the charger receptacle (Figure 3-2, Page 3-3 or Figure 3-3, Page 3-4).

Charger Installation and Operation
CHARGER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 3-1.
DANGER
The charging area must be ventilated. Hydrogen level in the air must never exceed 2%. The total volume of air in the charging area must be changed five times per hour. Exhaust fans should be located at the highest point of the roof. Contact a local HVAC engineer. Do not charge the vehicle batteries with the vehicle covered or enclosed. Any enclosure or cover should be removed or unzipped and pulled back when batteries are being charged. An accumulation of hydrogen gas could result in an explosion.
WARNING
Do not bypass the sense lead fuse (not applicable to Precedent vehicles). Prior to servicing the charger, disconnect the AC power supply cord from the wall outlet and the DC plug from the vehicle charger receptacle. The battery charger DC plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle (Figure 3-5, Page 3-6). Jerking or pulling the DC cord out quickly could cause arcing that could damage the plug and receptacle and could cause batteries to explode (Figure 3-6, Page 3-6). Do not connect the charger to battery packs that are not compatible with the DC output voltage specified on the charger. Overheating and transformer burnout will result. Do not use a battery charger if the cord, plug, or receptacle is damaged in any way. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Failure to heed this warning could result in a fire, property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Do not use a battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, was dropped, or was otherwise damaged. Make sure it is operating properly before putting it back in use. Each charger should have its own 15 or 20 ampere branch circuit protection (circuit breaker or fuse), in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, and local codes and ordinances. Improper AC supply circuit protection may result in a fire. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an electrical shock. Do not use an adapter to plug charger into a two-blade outlet or extension cord. Extension cord or outlet must accept grounded three-blade plug. The use of an improper extension cord could result in fire or electric shock. Chargers can ignite flammable materials and vapors. Do not use near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinner, or other flammables. Keep charger dry Do not expose to rain. Do not block or cover the charger ventilation slots. The slots provide ventilation and prevent the charger from overheating. Do not allow clothing, blankets, or other materials to cover the charger. Do not allow the charger to operate for more than 30 minutes at 19 or more amperes. Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines. Surge arrestors will help protect electrical components in the charger and on the vehicle from all but direct or close lightening strikes. 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual Page 3-5
Note: Appearance of receptacle may vary depending on vehicle.
Figure 3-5 Charger Receptacle
Figure 3-6 Incorrect DC Plug Removal
AC POWER CONNECTION
The AC line to which the charger is to be connected must be of the proper AC input voltage for the charger and must be capable of supplying sufficient current. See Section 2 Charger Identification and Specifications. With charger DC cord disconnected, connect the power supply cord to an AC supply. See Section 2 Charger Identification and Specifications. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the battery charger must be grounded. The charger is equipped with an AC electric cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. It is for use on a nominal 120 volt, 60 hertz circuit. The AC plug must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances. The use of an extension cord with the charger should be avoided. If an extension cord must be used, use a three-conductor no. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or no. 14 SWG (British Standard Wire Gauge), heavyduty cord with ground, properly wired and in good electrical condition. Keep it as short as possible (no more than 12 feet (3.7 m)). Place all cords so they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subject to damage or stress. Ensure that the charger ventilation slots are unobstructed and that there is adequate ventilation.
CHARGING BATTERIES
WARNING
Do not bypass the sense lead fuse (not applicable to Precedent vehicles). Be sure the fuse link is clean and tight (not applicable to Precedent vehicles). Be sure all wire connections at the receptacle are clean and tight. Do not rock or bend the plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (Figure 3-5, Page 3-6). Do not pull on the DC cord (Figure 3-6, Page 3-6). Do not twist, rock or bend the plug. To disconnect the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug by the handle and pull the plug straight out of the receptacle. Do not connect a charger to the receptacle if the charger cord, plug, or the vehicle receptacle is broken, damaged in any manner, or does not make a good electrical connection. Fire or personal injury can result. Have it replaced by a qualified service person immediately. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to the charger cord, the plug, and (or) the vehicle receptacle. Page 3-6 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
POWERDRIVE CHARGER (EXTERNAL) Do not use a charger if: - The plug is too loose or does not make a good connection. - The plug and receptacle feel hotter than normal during charge. - The plug pin or receptacle contacts are bent or corroded.
- The plug, receptacle, or cords are cut, worn, have any exposed wires or are damaged in any way. Using the charger with any of the above symptoms could result in a fire, property damage, personal injury, or death. 1. With the charger DC cord disconnected from the vehicle charger receptacle, connect the AC power supply cord to an AC outlet designed to provide the proper AC voltage for the charger. 2. Connect the charger DC plug to the vehicle charger receptacle located on the seat support panel (Figure 3-5, Page 3-6). The charger will activate automatically within 2 to 15 seconds after the DC plug is connected. See following WARNING.
WARNING
Do not rock or bend the DC plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (Figure 3-5, Page 3-6). 3. All vehicles except Precedent: 10 to 20 seconds after the charger activates, it will shut off again to run a self-diagnostic program (the ammeter will drop to 0). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter will return to previous rate of charge). 4. All vehicles: Monitor the ammeter for the correct charge rate. The initial charge rate will vary from 15 to 19 amps, depending upon the condition and depth of discharge of the batteries. Slight variations in the initial charge rate may also result from AC line input voltages which are higher or lower than the nominal input voltage. Higher AC line voltages increase the initial charge rate while lower AC line voltages reduce the initial charge rate. 5. All vehicles except Precedent: Monitor the ammeter for about 30 seconds. Under normal operating conditions (when the charger is on and the batteries are discharged), the ammeter will drop to zero for 2 to 3 seconds at the beginning of each charge cycle in order to perform a self-diagnostic test. This test will be repeated at one hour and two hours into the charge cycle. See following NOTE. NOTE: If the batteries are in a fully charged state and the vehicle has not been driven, the onboard computer will not perform the self-diagnostic test. Batteries should be put on charge at the end of each day even if the vehicle has been used for only a short amount of time (even if for only 10 minutes). When air temperatures fall below 65 F (18.3 C), batteries charged in unheated areas should be placed on charge as soon as possible after use. Cold batteries require more time to fully charge. New batteries will not deliver their full range until the vehicle has been driven and recharged from 20 to 50 times. Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 energy units of discharge (or 36 holes of golf) between charges until the batteries have been properly seasoned (20 to 50 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car recommends that electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 energy units of discharge or each night in order to avoid deep discharging the batteries. Charging between rounds will also extend battery life; use the CDM (Communication Display Module) (CCI P/N 101831801). See Communication Display Module in Section 11 of the appropriate maintenance and service manual. 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual Page 3-7
TESTING CHARGER OPERATION

1. With the DC plug disconnected from the vehicle charger receptacle, insert the AC cord into an outlet. The charger relay should NOT close. A multimeter set to volts DC and connected across the DC plug positive (+) and negative () pins should indicate zero volts. No transformer hum should be heard. 2. Disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet and connect the DC plug to the receptacle. The charger relay should close with an audible click after a 2 to 15 second delay. See following NOTE. NOTE: Monitor the charge cycle to make sure the charger turns off properly. If the charge cycle is interrupted, and the batteries are less than 90% charged, the battery warning light will illuminate intermittently. See Battery Warning Light on page 3-2. 3. If the charger does not operate exactly as described above, refer to the wiring diagram and make sure that the vehicle is wired correctly (Figure 3-2, Page 3-3 or Figure 3-3, Page 3-4) and that the internal charger wiring is correct (Figure 3-7, Page 3-8).

DC CORD AND PLUG INSPECTION

The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily. Visually inspect them for cracks, loose connections, and frayed wiring; they must be replaced when worn or damaged. If charger plug or receptacle show signs of corrosion or the plug is difficult to insert or remove, the receptacle contacts and plug terminals should be cleaned with a good electrical contact cleaner. The plug should then be inserted and removed several times to ensure ease of insertion, ease of removal, and good electrical contact. See Charger Receptacle in Section 12 of the appropriate maintenance and service manual for receptacle removal and installation. See also DC Cord Removal on page 3-23. See following NOTE. NOTE: If the warning tag has been damaged or removed from the DC cord, have it replaced immediately. Page 3-8 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
Checking Battery Condition After a Charge Cycle
CHECKING BATTERY CONDITION AFTER A CHARGE CYCLE

It is common practice for technicians to check the condition of a set of batteries after they have been charged to ensure they have received a complete charge before the vehicle is used. With IQ System, PowerDrive, and Precedent vehicles, this is not necessary; the onboard computer controls and monitors the charge cycle. If any problem occurs during a charge cycle, the battery warning light, located above the steering column in the center dash panel, will illuminate intermittently. If the battery warning light is illuminated after a charge cycle, refer to the troubleshooting chart in the maintenance and service manual appropriate for your battery charger. If you do not have this publication, contact your Club Car representative. If the specified test procedures identify no problems, plug the DC cord into the vehicle and let it charge until the charger shuts off automatically. If a problem is found, correct it and then charge the vehicle. Normal voltage near the end of a charge cycle should be approximately 59 to 63 volts.
START CHARGE CYCLE

1. Disconnect the DC plug from the vehicle charger receptacle. 2. Wait 20 seconds, then reconnect the DC cord to the vehicle receptacle. See following NOTE. NOTE: The charger will not operate unless a delay of approximately 20 seconds is observed. 3. Monitor the ammeter for the charge rate. If the vehicle has not been driven since the last charge cycle and the batteries are fully charged, the onboard computer will not perform a self-diagnostic test. The charge cycle will begin and the ammeter will not drop to zero. All vehicles except Precedent: If the vehicle has been driven, even if only a few feet, the onboard computer will perform the self-diagnostic test; the ammeter will drop to zero for 2 to 3 seconds before the charge cycle continues. If the batteries are close to being fully charged, the charge cycle will begin and the charge current will begin to taper within a few minutes.
TROUBLESHOOTING
DANGER
Do not touch any wire or component in the battery charger while AC power is present. Failure to heed this warning will result in an electric shock.
WARNING
Knowledge of battery charger wiring and component terminology is required before attempting any repair (Figure 3-7, Page 3-8).

POWERDRIVE CHARGER (EXTERNAL) Test Procedure 3 AC Power and Continuity Test of AC Circuit, Continued:
Test Procedures
6. If the circuit is not complete, check the wiring of the AC cord, transformer primary coil wires, and internal AC circuit breaker (Figure 3-17, Page 3-19). 7. If the charger is wired correctly, check the continuity of the AC cord, transformer primary coil, and the internal AC circuit breaker individually. See Test Procedure 8 Continuity on page 3-20. 8. When troubleshooting and repairs are complete, properly connect the relay wiring. See following WARNING.
WARNING
The relay wiring must be properly connected prior to placing the charger back into normal service. Failure to properly connect the relay wiring could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
TEST PROCEDURE 4 DIODES

Use Test Procedure 4A Single Diode Failure on page 3-16 for single diode failures and testing of individual diodes. If both diodes have failed, use Test Procedure 4B Both Diodes Failed on page 3-17.
Test Procedure 4A Single Diode Failure See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 3-1.
A single diode failure is indicated by the failure of one fuse link (closed circuit diode) or by the charger output being low (open circuit diode). If a diode has failed, the entire heatsink must be replaced. To check diodes: 1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle. 2. Remove the charger cover. 3. Disconnect one transformer secondary coil wire from the diode terminal (Figure 3-13, Page 3-17). 4. Using a low voltage continuity tester or multimeter set to the diode test function, connect the red (+) test probe to the diode mounting plate and the black () test probe to a diode terminal and note the reading (Figure 3-13, Page 3-17). 5. Reverse test probes and check each diode again and note the reading (Figure 3-14, Page 3-17). A diode is designed to conduct current in one direction only. If a diode conducts current (shows continuity) in both directions, the entire heatsink with diodes must be replaced. If a diode does not conduct current (does not show continuity) in either direction, the entire heatsink must be replaced. 6. On rare occasions, a single fuse link may blow due to excessive heat. This can be caused by a loose internal fuse connection. Check all three fuse connections inside the charger to be sure they are clean and tight. The proper tightness for the fuse link connections is 22 in-lb (2.5 Nm). Page 3-16 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
Test Procedures
7. Ensure that the charger is wired properly and all connections are clean and tight. See following CAUTION.
CAUT ION
If connections are not clean and tight, excessive heat will be created and the charger may become damaged.

Figure 3-13 Diode Test
Figure 3-14 Diode Test Probes Reversed
Test Procedure 4B Both Diodes Failed See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 3-1.
To check the diodes, use Test Procedure 4A Single Diode Failure on page 3-16. If both diodes have failed closed, both charger fuse links will be blown. If both diodes have failed open, the relay will close and the transformer will hum, but the ammeter will not indicate any output and the AC circuit breaker may trip off. If both diodes have failed open or closed, the entire heatsink must be replaced. To determine why both diodes failed: 1. Check the batteries and the receptacle to ensure that they are wired in the correct polarity (Figure 3-2, Page 3-3 or Figure 3-3, Page 3-4). Also check the voltage and polarity at the receptacle. 2. Make sure the charger is wired correctly: The DC cord red wire should be connected to the center terminal of the heatsink, the DC cord blue wire should be connected to the relay coil, and the DC cord black wire should be connected to the left side of the ammeter (when viewed from inside the charger) (Figure 3-7, Page 3-8). If a reverse polarity connection is made between the charger and the batteries, both fuse links will blow when the DC cord is connected to the vehicle, whether or not the AC cord is plugged into an outlet. 3. On rare occasions, both diodes may fail as a result of a lightning strike at the charging location. 4. Excessive heat due to a loose connection may also cause both fuse links to blow. Be sure fuse connections are tightened to 22 in-lb (2.5 Nm). 5. Ensure that the charger and vehicle are wired properly and all connections are clean and tight. 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual Page 3-17
Test Procedures
TEST PROCEDURE 5 CHARGER DC CIRCUIT CONTINUITY TEST See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 3-1.
1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle. 2. Using a continuity tester (CCI P/N 1011273) or multimeter set to 200 ohms, connect the test probes to the pins marked (+) and () on the DC plug (Figure 3-15, Page 3-18). Note the reading. 3. Reverse the test probes and check the DC plug again (Figure 3-16, Page 3-18). The circuit should show continuity in only one direction. 4. If the circuit does not show continuity in either direction and the charger fuse is not blown, individually check all connections and the continuity of the DC cord and ammeter. See Test Procedure 8 Continuity on page 3-20. Also check the diodes (heatsink). See Test Procedure 4 Diodes on page 3-16. 5. If the circuit shows continuity in both directions, a short circuit exists in the charger DC circuit, usually caused by failed diodes. See Test Procedure 4 Diodes on page 3-16. If diodes have not failed, check the DC cord for a short circuit. See Test Procedure 8 Continuity on page 3-20. 6. Remove the DC cord blue wire from the red wire connected to the charger relay and check continuity between the positive and negative pins and middle pin on the DC plug (Figure 3-7, Page 3-8 and Figure 3-8, Page 3-12).

TEST PROCEDURE 6 TRANSFORMER See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 3-1.
Failure of the transformer may be caused by aging or a short circuit in adjacent coil turns. If the transformer has failed, the ammeter will indicate low output or no output; however, the transformer may hum. A blown AC line fuse or tripped AC circuit breaker in the charger or the storage facility may be caused by an improperly wired charger or a failed transformer. An AC circuit test should be done before performing this test procedure to ensure the continuity of the AC cord, internal AC circuit breaker, and charger wiring. See Test Procedure 3 AC Power and Continuity Test of AC Circuit on page 3-15. 1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle. 2. Remove the charger cover. 3. Disconnect transformer secondary coil wires (1 and 5) from the heatsink (Figure 3-17, Page 3-19). Page 3-18 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual

WARNING
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section includes information pertaining to service of the onboard PowerDrive battery charger (model numbers 17935-10, 17935-20, and 17935-30) as installed on the Carryall 6 or TransPorter vehicle only. For battery charger models other than those listed above, refer to the appropriate section in the appropriate battery charger maintenance and service manual. Do not attempt to service a battery charger that has not been properly identified. If a charger cannot be properly identified, contact your local Club Car dealer or distributor. For battery chargers with model numbers listed above that are installed in vehicles other than Carryall 6 and TransPorter vehicles, contact your local Club Car dealer or distributor. The PowerDrive battery charger is automatic and has no external controls (Figure 4-1, Page 4-1). When the charger is connected, there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins. The onboard computer (OBC) records the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle is used, then directs the charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging. See following NOTE. NOTE: Shortly after charging begins, the charger will shut off in order to run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter returns to previous rate of charge). This will be repeated at one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle.

The Charge Circuit
POWERDRIVE ONBOARD CHARGER FEATURES

Charge Interlock: When the AC power cord is inserted into a wall receptacle, the onboard computer locks out the vehicles drive system. This prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle while the charger is plugged in and potentially damaging the vehicle and charger. Long-Term Storage Charge: PowerDrive chargers are designed to be left connected with AC power to the charger, during off-season or long-term storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate the charger every 15 days. To return the vehicle to service, disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet, wait 15 seconds and then plug the AC cord back in. The charger will activate. Allow the vehicle to complete one full charge cycle before putting it into service.

The PowerDrive System 48 vehicle features a dash-mounted battery warning light that alerts the operator to any problems with the batteries or charging system. The battery warning light is controlled by the onboard computer (OBC). When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) AC power to charger is interrupted, 2) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 3) charger malfunctions, the battery warning light will indicate as follows: The battery warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer will retain in memory the amount of charge needed to fully replenish the batteries and will complete the charge during the next charge cycle. When the charger AC cord is unplugged during a charge cycle, the warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for 60 minutes of operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to completion as soon as possible. The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals, if the charger times out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer.
THE CHARGE CIRCUIT

For Carryall 6 and TransPorter vehicles with onboard chargers, the charge circuit consists of the following: onboard charger onboard computer batteries The black wire from the charger is connected to the terminal block. The 10-gauge black wire from the onboard computer connects to the terminal block, and the 6-gauge black wire (also on the controller B terminal) goes through the onboard computer and connects to the negative () post of battery no. 6. The red wire of the charger is connected to the large post of the solenoid (battery side). The blue wire (sense lead) from the charger is connected to the sense lead fuse, which is connected to the gray wire from the onboard computer (Figure 4-2, Page 4-3). Page 4-2 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual

CHARGER OPERATION
DANGER
The charging area must be ventilated. Hydrogen level in the air must never exceed 2%. The total volume of air in the charging area must be changed five times per hour. Exhaust fans should be located at the highest point of the roof. Contact a local HVAC engineer. Do not charge the vehicle batteries with the vehicle covered or enclosed. Any enclosure or cover should be removed or unzipped and pulled back when batteries are being charged. An accumulation of hydrogen gas could result in an explosion.
WARNING
Do not bypass the sense lead fuse. Prior to servicing the charger, disconnect the AC power supply cord from the wall outlet and remove the battery charger from the vehicle. See Onboard Charger Removal on page 4-30. Do not connect the charger to battery packs that are not compatible with the DC output voltage specified on the charger. Overheating and transformer burnout will result. Do not use a battery charger if the cord, plug, or receptacle is damaged in any way. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Failure to heed this warning could result in a fire, property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Do not use a battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, was dropped, or was otherwise damaged. Make sure it is operating properly before putting it back in use.

Charger Operation
WARNING
Each charger should have its own 15 or 20 ampere branch circuit protection (circuit breaker or fuse), in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, and local codes and ordinances. Improper AC supply circuit protection may result in a fire. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an electrical shock. Do not use an adapter to plug charger into a two-blade outlet or an extension cord. AC outlet must accept grounded three-blade plug. The use of an extension cord could result in fire or electric shock. Do not operate a battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, was dropped, or was otherwise damaged. Make sure it is operating properly before putting it back in use. Chargers can ignite flammable materials and vapors. Do not use near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinner, or other flammables. Keep charger dry Do not expose to rain. Do not block or cover the charger ventilation slots. The slots provide ventilation and prevent the charger from overheating. Do not allow clothing, blankets, or other materials to cover the charger. Do not allow the charger to operate for more than 30 minutes at 19 or more amperes. Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines. Surge arrestors will help protect electrical components in the charger and on the vehicle from all but direct or close lightening strikes.
AC Power Connection
The AC line to which the charger is to be connected must be of the proper AC input voltage for the charger and must be capable of supplying sufficient current. See Section 2 Charger Identification and Specifications. Connect the power supply cord to an AC supply. See Section 2 Charger Identification and Specifications. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the battery charger must be grounded. The charger is equipped with an AC electric cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. The AC plug must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances. Place the charger AC cord so it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subject to damage or stress. The use of an extension cord with the onboard charger should be avoided. Do not place items in the compartment where the battery charger is installed. Ensure that the charger ventilation slots are unobstructed.
Normal Charger Operation

1. With the charger DC cord disconnected from the vehicle charger receptacle, connect the AC power supply cord to an AC outlet designed to provide the proper AC voltage for the charger. 2. The charger will activate automatically within 2 to 15 seconds. 3. Monitor the ammeter for the correct charge rate. The initial charge rate will vary from 15 to 19 amps, depending upon the condition and depth of discharge of the batteries. Slight variations in the initial charge rate may also result from AC line input voltages which are higher or lower than the nominal input voltage. Higher AC line voltages increase the initial charge rate while lower AC line voltages reduce the initial charge rate. 4. Monitor the ammeter for about 30 seconds. Under normal operating conditions (when the charger is on and the batteries are discharged), the ammeter will drop to zero for 2 to 3 seconds at the beginning of each charge cycle in order to perform a self-diagnostic test. This test will be repeated at one hour and two hours into the charge cycle. See following CAUTION and NOTE. Page 4-4 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
Charger Operation
CAUT ION
Do not connect an external charger to the receptacle of a vehicle equipped with an onboard charger while the onboard charger is activated. Charging overload will damage the onboard computer and may cause battery damage. NOTE: If the batteries are in a fully charged state and the vehicle has not been driven, the onboard computer will not perform the self-diagnostic test. Batteries should be put on charge at the end of each day even if the vehicle has been used for only a short amount of time (even if for only 10 minutes). When air temperatures fall below 65 F (18.3 C), batteries charged in unheated areas should be placed on charge as soon as possible after use. Cold batteries require more time to fully charge. New batteries will not deliver their full range until the vehicle has been driven and recharged from 20 to 50 times. Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 energy units of discharge (or 36 holes of golf) between charges until the batteries have been properly seasoned (20 to 50 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car recommends that electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 energy units of discharge or each night in order to avoid deep discharging the batteries. Charging between rounds will also extend battery life; use the CDM (Communication Display Module) (CCI P/N 101831801). See Communication Display Module in Section 11 of the appropriate maintenance and service manual.
Testing Charger Operation

1. Connect the AC power supply cord to a 120-volt AC, 60-hertz, single-phase outlet. The charger relay should not close immediately, but should close with an audible click after a delay of 2 to 15 seconds. See following NOTE. NOTE: Monitor the charge cycle to make sure the charger turns off properly. If the charge cycle is interrupted, and the batteries are less than 90% charged, the battery warning light will illuminate intermittently. See Battery Warning Light on page 4-2. 2. If the charger does not operate exactly as described above, refer to the wiring diagram and make sure that the vehicle is wired correctly (Figure 4-2, Page 4-3) and that the internal charger wiring is correct (Figure 4-3, Page 4-5).

Checking Battery Condition
CHECKING BATTERY CONDITION

It is common practice for technicians to check the condition of a set of batteries after they have charged to ensure they have received a complete charge before the vehicle is used. With the PowerDrive battery charger this practice is not necessary. The onboard computer controls and monitors the charge cycle. If any problem occurs during a charge cycle, the battery warning light, located above the steering column in the center dash panel, will illuminate intermittently. If the battery warning light is illuminated after a charge cycle, refer to the troubleshooting chart. See Troubleshooting on page 4-7. If the specified test procedures identify no problems, plug the AC cord into a wall outlet and let it charge until the charger shuts off automatically. If a problem is found, correct it and then charge the vehicle. Normal battery voltage near the end of a charge cycle should be approximately 59 to 63 volts DC while the charger is still operating.
Start Charge Cycle

1. Disconnect the AC plug from the wall outlet. 2. Wait 20 seconds, then reconnect the AC cord to the wall outlet. See following NOTE. NOTE: The charger will not operate unless a delay of approximately 20 seconds is observed. 3. Monitor the ammeter for the charge rate. If the vehicle has not been driven since the last charge cycle and the batteries are fully charged, the onboard computer will not perform a self-diagnostic test. The charge cycle will begin and the ammeter will not drop to zero. If the vehicle has been driven, even if only a few feet, the onboard computer will perform the self-diagnostic test; the ammeter will drop to zero for 2 to 3 seconds before the charge cycle continues. If the batteries are close to being fully charged, the charge cycle will begin and the charge current will begin to taper within a few minutes.

Figure 4-8 AC Circuit Continuity Test
TEST PROCEDURE 4 DIODES

Use Test Procedure 4A Single Diode Failure on page 4-12 for single diode failures and testing of individual diodes. If both diodes have failed, use Test Procedure 4B Both Diodes Failed on page 4-13.
Test Procedure 4A Single Diode Failure See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
A single diode failure is indicated by the failure of one fuse link (closed circuit diode) or by the charger output being low (open circuit diode). If a diode has failed, the entire heatsink must be replaced. To check diodes: 1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet. 2. Remove the battery charger from the vehicle. See Onboard Charger Removal on page 4-30. 3. Remove the charger cover. 4. Disconnect one transformer secondary coil wire from the diode terminal (Figure 4-9, Page 4-13). 5. Using a low voltage continuity tester or multimeter set to the diode test function, connect the red (+) test probe to the diode mounting plate and the black () test probe to a diode terminal and note the reading (Figure 4-9, Page 4-13). Page 4-12 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
Test Procedures
6. Reverse test probes and check each diode again and note the reading (Figure 4-10, Page 4-13). A diode is designed to conduct current in one direction only. If a diode conducts current (shows continuity) in both directions, the entire heatsink with diodes must be replaced. If a diode does not conduct current (does not show continuity) in either direction, the entire heatsink must be replaced. 7. On rare occasions, a single fuse link may blow due to excessive heat. This can be caused by a loose internal fuse connection. Check all three fuse connections inside the charger to be sure they are clean and tight. The proper tightness for the fuse link connections is 22 in-lb (2.5 Nm). 8. Ensure that the charger is wired properly and all connections are clean and tight. See following CAUTION.
CAUT ION
DISCONNECTED SECONDARY COIL WIRE

Figure 4-10 Diode Test Probes Reversed
Test Procedure 4B Both Diodes Failed See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
To check the diodes, use Test Procedure 4A Single Diode Failure on page 4-12. If both diodes have failed closed, both charger fuse links will be blown. If both diodes have failed open, the relay will close and the transformer will hum, but the ammeter will not indicate any output and the AC circuit breaker may trip off. If both diodes have failed open or closed, the entire heatsink must be replaced. To determine why both diodes failed: 1. Check the batteries and the receptacle to ensure that they are wired in the correct polarity. (Figure 4-2, Page 4-3). 2. Make sure the charger is wired correctly: The DC cord red wire should be connected to the center terminal of the heatsink, the DC cord blue wire should be connected to the control board, and the DC cord black wire should be connected to the left side of the ammeter (when viewed from inside the charger) (Figure 4-3, Page 4-5). If a reverse polarity connection is made between the charger and the batteries, both fuse links will blow when the DC cord is connected to the vehicle, whether or not the AC cord is plugged into an outlet. 3. Make sure the charger is wired to the vehicle correctly; the DC cord red wire should be connected to the same large post as the 6-gauge red wire connected to the positive (+) post of battery no. 1. The DC cord blue wire should be connected to the sense lead fuse. The DC cord black wire should be connected to the terminal block located on the vehicle component mounting plate (Figure 4-2, Page 4-3). If a reverse polarity connection is made between the charger and the batteries, both fuse links will blow when the DC cord is connected to the vehicle, whether or not the AC cord is plugged into an outlet. 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual Page 4-13
Test Procedures
4. On rare occasions, both diodes may fail as a result of a lightning strike at the charging location. 5. Excessive heat due to a loose connection may also cause both fuse links to blow. Be sure fuse connections are tightened to 22 in-lb (2.5 Nm). 6. Ensure that the charger and vehicle are wired properly and all connections are clean and tight.
TEST PROCEDURE 5 CHARGER DC CIRCUIT CONTINUITY TEST See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
1. Disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet. 2. Disconnect the batteries as instructed. See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. 3. Disconnect the DC cord blue wire from the sense lead fuse (Figure 4-2, Page 4-3). 4. Disconnect the DC cord red wire from the large post of the solenoid. 5. Disconnect the DC cord black wire from the terminal strip located on the vehicle component mounting plate. 6. Using a continuity tester (CCI P/N 1011273) or multimeter set to 200 ohms, connect the test probes to the DC cord black wire removed from the terminal strip and the DC cord red wire removed from the large solenoid post (Figure 4-11, Page 4-14). Note the reading. 7. Reverse the test probes and check the DC cord again (Figure 4-12, Page 4-14). The circuit should show continuity in only one direction. 8. If the circuit does not show continuity in either direction and the charger fuse is not blown, individually check all connections and the continuity of the DC cord and ammeter. See Test Procedure 8 Continuity on page 4-16. Also check the diodes (heatsink). See Test Procedure 4 Diodes on page 4-12. 9. If the circuit shows continuity in both directions, a short circuit exists in the charger DC circuit, usually caused by failed diodes. See Test Procedure 4 Diodes on page 4-12. If diodes have not failed, check the DC cord for a short circuit. See Test Procedure 8 Continuity on page 4-16. 10. Remove the DC cord blue wire from the control board and check continuity between the DC cord red, black, and blue wires (Figure 4-3, Page 4-5). There should be no continuity.

TEST PROCEDURE 6 TRANSFORMER See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.

Failure of the transformer may be caused by aging or a short circuit in adjacent coil turns. If the transformer has failed, the ammeter will indicate low output or no output; however, the transformer may hum. A blown AC line fuse or tripped AC circuit breaker in the charger or the storage facility may be caused by an improperly wired charger or a failed transformer. An AC circuit test should be done before performing this test procedure to ensure the continuity of the AC cord, AC cord reel, internal AC circuit breaker, and charger wiring. See Test Procedure 3 AC Power and Continuity Check of AC Circuit on page 4-11. 1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet. 2. Remove the battery charger from the vehicle. See Onboard Charger Removal on page 4-30. 3. Remove the charger cover. 4. Disconnect transformer secondary coil wires (1 and 5) from the heatsink (Figure 4-13, Page 4-15). 5. To apply AC power directly to the transformer primary coil, the relay must be bypassed. 5.1. To bypass the relay, remove the black wire (3) from the AC circuit breaker and disconnect the black wire (4) from the relay. Connect the black wire (4) to the AC circuit breaker (Figure 4-13, Page 4-15). See following DANGER.

DANGER
WARNING
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section includes information pertaining to service of the PowerDrive 2 battery charger (model numbers 22110-11, 22110-18, and 22110-19). Do not attempt to service a battery charger that has not been properly identified. If a charger cannot be properly identified, contact your local Club Car dealer or distributor. The PowerDrive 2 battery charger is automatic and has no external controls (Figure 5-1, Page 5-1). When the charger is connected, there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins. NOTE: All vehicles except Precedent: Shortly after charging begins, the charger will shut off in order to run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter returns to previous rate of charge). This will be repeated at one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle. The onboard computer, having recorded the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle was used, directs the charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger then shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging. The computer accomplishes this by detecting when the exact amount of energy necessary has been returned to the batteries.

Charge Interlock PowerDrive 2 battery charger DC plugs have three pins rather than two blades common on most standard charger plugs. Two of these pins are the positive and negative leads as on standard chargers; the third pin is a sensing lead that is the communication link between the charger and the onboard computer. When the charger plug is plugged into the vehicle receptacle, the onboard computer locks out the vehicle drive system. This prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle while the charger is plugged in and potentially damaging the vehicle and charger. Long-Term Storage Charge IQ System, PowerDrive, and Precedent vehicles with PowerDrive 2 chargers are designed to be left connected with AC power to the charger during off-season storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate the charger every 15 days. To return the vehicle to service, unplug the charger DC cord, wait 15 seconds for the computer to reset, and plug the charger back in. See following WARNING. This will ensure the batteries are at their optimum charge prior to returning the vehicle to service.
WARNING
The charger plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle (Figure 5-4, Page 5-5). Jerking or pulling the DC cord out quickly could cause arcing and burning that could damage the plug and receptacle and could cause batteries to explode (Figure 5-5, Page 5-5).

Precedent, IQ System and PowerDrive vehicles, feature a dash mounted warning light (above the steering column) that, when the vehicle is in operation, indicates low battery voltage or, when the vehicle is being charged, indicates a charging problem. The battery warning light is controlled by the onboard computer. When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC power to charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows: The battery warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer will retain in memory the amount of charge needed to replenish the batteries and will complete the charge during the next charge cycle. When the charger DC cord is unplugged during a charge cycle, the battery warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds (25 seconds for Precedent vehicles) if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for 60 minutes of operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to completion as soon as possible. The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals (25 seconds, at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), if the charger times out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer. The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals (25 seconds, at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), during a charge cycle (with the DC plug still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC power is restored. Page 5-2 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual

DANGER
The charging area must be ventilated. Hydrogen level in the air must never exceed 2%. The total volume of air in the charging area must be changed five times per hour. Exhaust fans should be located at the highest point of the roof. Contact a local HVAC engineer. Do not charge the vehicle batteries with the vehicle covered or enclosed. Any enclosure or cover should be removed or unzipped and pulled back when batteries are being charged. An accumulation of hydrogen gas could result in an explosion. Page 5-4 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
WARNING
Do not bypass the sense lead fuse (not applicable to Precedent vehicles). Prior to servicing the charger, disconnect the AC power supply cord from the wall outlet and the DC plug from the vehicle charger receptacle. The battery charger DC plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle (Figure 5-4, Page 5-5). Jerking or pulling the DC cord out quickly could cause arcing that could damage the plug and receptacle and could cause batteries to explode (Figure 5-5, Page 5-5). Do not connect the charger to battery packs that are not compatible with the DC output voltage specified on the charger. Overheating and transformer burnout will result. Do not use a battery charger if the cord, plug, or receptacle is damaged in any way. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Failure to heed this warning could result in a fire, property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Do not use a battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, was dropped, or was otherwise damaged. Make sure it is operating properly before putting it back in use. Each charger should have its own 15 or 20 ampere branch circuit protection (circuit breaker or fuse), in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, and local codes and ordinances. Improper AC supply circuit protection may result in a fire. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an electrical shock. Do not use an adapter to plug charger into a two-blade outlet or extension cord. Extension cord or outlet must accept grounded three-blade plug. The use of an improper extension cord could result in fire or electric shock. Chargers can ignite flammable materials and vapors. Do not use near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinner, or other flammables. Keep charger dry Do not expose to rain. Do not block or cover the charger ventilation slots. The slots provide ventilation and prevent the charger from overheating. Do not allow clothing, blankets, or other materials to cover the charger. Do not allow the charger to operate for more than 30 minutes at 19 or more amperes. Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines. Surge arrestors will help protect electrical components in the charger and on the vehicle from all but direct or close lightening strikes.
Page 5-5
AC POWER CONNECTION
The AC line to which the charger is to be connected must be of the proper AC input voltage for the charger and must be capable of supplying sufficient current. See Section 2 Charger Identification and Specifications. With charger DC output cord disconnected, connect the power supply cord to an AC supply. See Section 2 Charger Identification and Specifications. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the battery charger must be grounded. The charger is equipped with an AC electric cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. It is for use on a nominal 120 volt, 60 hertz circuit. The AC plug must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances. The use of an extension cord with the charger should be avoided. If an extension cord must be used, use a three-conductor no. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or no. 14 SWG (British Standard Wire Gauge), heavyduty cord with ground, properly wired and in good electrical condition. Keep it as short as possible (no more than 12 feet (3.7 meters)). Place all cords so they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subject to damage or stress. Ensure that the charger ventilation slots are unobstructed and that there is adequate ventilation.
CHARGING BATTERIES
WARNING
Do not bypass the sense lead fuse (not applicable to Precedent vehicles). Be sure the fuse link is clean and tight (not applicable to Precedent vehicles). Be sure all wire connections at the receptacle are clean and tight. Do not rock or bend the plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (Figure 5-4, Page 5-5). Do not pull on the DC cord (Figure 5-5, Page 5-5). Do not twist, rock or bend the plug. To disconnect the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug by the handle and pull the plug straight out of the receptacle. Do not connect a charger to the receptacle if the charger cord, plug, or the vehicle receptacle is broken, damaged in any manner, or does not make a good electrical connection. Fire or personal injury can result. Have it replaced by a qualified service person immediately. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to the charger cord, the plug, and (or) the vehicle receptacle. Do not use a charger if: - The plug is too loose or does not make a good connection. - The plug and receptacle feel hotter than normal during charge. - The plug pin or receptacle contacts are bent or corroded. - The plug, receptacle, or cords are cut, worn, have any exposed wires or are damaged in any way. Using the charger with any of the above symptoms could result in a fire, property damage, personal injury, or death. 1. With the charger DC cord disconnected from the vehicle charger receptacle, connect the AC power supply cord to an AC outlet designed to provide the proper AC voltage for the charger. Page 5-6 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
2. Connect the charger DC plug to the vehicle charger receptacle located on the seat support panel (Figure 5-4, Page 5-5). The charger will activate automatically within 2 to 15 seconds after the DC plug is connected. See following WARNING.
WARNING
Do not rock or bend the DC plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (Figure 5-4, Page 5-5). 3. All vehicles except Precedent: 10 to 20 seconds after the charger activates, it will shut off again to run a self-diagnostic program (the ammeter will drop to 0). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter will return to previous rate of charge). 4. All vehicles: Monitor the ammeter for the correct charge rate. The initial charge rate will vary from 15 to 19 amps, depending upon the condition and depth of discharge of the batteries. Slight variations in the initial charge rate may also result from AC line input voltages which are higher or lower than the nominal input voltage. Higher AC line voltages increase the initial charge rate while lower AC line voltages reduce the initial charge rate. 5. All vehicles except Precedent: Monitor the ammeter for about 30 seconds. Under normal operating conditions (when the charger is on and the batteries are discharged), the ammeter will drop to zero for 2 to 3 seconds at the beginning of each charge cycle in order to perform a self-diagnostic test. This test will be repeated at one hour and two hours into the charge cycle. See following NOTE. NOTE: If the batteries are in a fully charged state and the vehicle has not been driven, the onboard computer will not perform the self-diagnostic test. Batteries should be put on charge at the end of each day even if the vehicle has been used for only a short amount of time (even if for only 10 minutes). When air temperatures fall below 65 F (18.3 C), batteries charged in unheated areas should be placed on charge as soon as possible after use. Cold batteries require more time to fully charge. New batteries will not deliver their full range until the vehicle has been driven and recharged from 20 to 50 times. Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 energy units of discharge (or 36 holes of golf) between charges until the batteries have been properly seasoned (20 to 50 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car recommends that electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 energy units of discharge or each night in order to avoid deep discharging the batteries. Charging between rounds will also extend battery life; use the CDM (Communication Display Module) (CCI P/N 101831801). See Communication Display Module in Section 11 of the appropriate maintenance and service manual.

1. With the DC plug disconnected from the vehicle charger receptacle, insert the AC cord into an outlet. The charger relay should NOT close. A multimeter set to volts DC and connected across the DC plug positive (+) and negative () pins should indicate zero volts. No transformer hum should be heard. 2. Disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet and connect the DC plug to the receptacle. The charger relay should close with an audible click after a 2 to 15 second delay. See following NOTE. NOTE: Monitor the charge cycle to make sure the charger turns off properly. If the charge cycle is interrupted, and the batteries are less than 90% charged, the battery warning light will illuminate intermittently. See Battery Warning Light on page 5-2. 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual Page 5-7

Checking Battery Condition After a charge Cycle

It is common practice for technicians to check the condition of a set of batteries after they have been charged to ensure they have received a complete charge before the vehicle is used. With IQ System, PowerDrive, and Precedent vehicles, this is not necessary; the onboard computer controls and monitors the charge cycle. If any problem occurs during a charge cycle, the battery warning light, located above the steering column in the center dash panel, will illuminate intermittently. See following NOTE. If the battery warning light is illuminated after a charge cycle, refer to the troubleshooting chart in the maintenance and service manual appropriate for your battery charger. If you do not have this publication, contact your Club Car representative. If the specified test procedures identify no problems, plug the DC cord into the vehicle and let it charge until the charger shuts off automatically. If a problem is found, correct it and then charge the vehicle. Normal voltage near the end of a charge cycle should be approximately 59 to 63 volts.

Failure of the transformer may be caused by aging or a short circuit in adjacent coil turns. If the transformer has failed, the ammeter will indicate low output or no output; however, the transformer may hum. A blown AC line fuse or tripped AC circuit breaker in the charger or the storage facility may be caused by an improperly wired charger or a failed transformer. An AC circuit test should be done before performing this test procedure to ensure the continuity of the AC cord, internal AC circuit breaker, and charger wiring. See Test Procedure 3 AC Power and Continuity Test of AC Circuit on page 5-15. 1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle. 2. Remove the charger cover. 3. Disconnect the two black transformer secondary coil wires (1 and 5) from the rectifier (Figure 5-16, Page 5-19). 4. To apply AC power directly to the transformer primary coil, the relay must be bypassed. 4.1. To bypass the relay, remove the black wire (3) from the AC circuit breaker and disconnect the black wire (4) from the relay. Connect the black wire (4) to the AC circuit breaker (Figure 5-16, Page 5-19). See following DANGER. Page 5-18 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
Test Procedures
DANGER
Do not touch any wire or component in the battery charger while AC power is present. Failure to heed this warning will result in an electric shock. 5. Make sure the secondary coil wires are not touching one another. With the relay bypassed, insert the AC plug into an outlet. If the AC line fuse blows or AC circuit breaker trips, the transformer is shorted internally and must be replaced. 6. If the AC line fuse does not blow or the AC circuit breaker does not trip, check the transformer secondary coil voltage. 7. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet. 8. Using alligator clips and a multimeter set to 500 volts AC, connect the multimeter probes to the secondary transformer coil wires (1 and 5). 9. Connect the AC cord to the wall outlet and monitor the multimeter for the secondary coil voltage. If measured voltage is approximately 42.5 volts AC or lower for the secondary coil, the transformer is shorted internally and must be replaced (Figure 5-16, Page 5-19). 10. If the voltage reading is normal (43 volts AC or higher), the transformer is operational. Disconnect the AC plug from the wall receptacle and check the continuity of the DC circuit. See Test Procedure 5 Charger DC Circuit Continuity Test on page 5-17. 11. When troubleshooting and repairs are complete, properly connect the relay wiring. See following WARNING.

DANGER
WARNING
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section includes information pertaining to service of the GE PowerDrive battery charger (model numbers IC3645B12A4ASC1, IC3645B12A4BSC1, and IC3645B12A4CSC1). Do not attempt to service a battery charger that has not been properly identified. If a charger cannot be properly identified, contact your local Club Car dealer or distributor. The GE PowerDrive battery charger is automatic and has no external controls (Figure 6-1, Page 6-1). When the charger is connected, there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins. NOTE: All vehicles except Precedent: Shortly after charging begins, the charger will shut off in order to run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter returns to previous rate of charge). This will be repeated at one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle. The onboard computer, having recorded the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle was used, directs the charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger then shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging. The computer accomplishes this by detecting when the exact amount of energy necessary has been returned to the batteries.

GE POWERDRIVE CHARGER (EXTERNAL)
General Information
GE POWERDRIVE BATTERY CHARGER FEATURES

Charge Interlock GE PowerDrive battery charger DC plugs have three pins rather than two blades common on most standard charger plugs. Two of these pins are the positive and negative leads as on standard chargers; the third pin is a sensing lead that is the communication link between the charger and the onboard computer. When the charger plug is plugged into the vehicle receptacle, the onboard computer locks out the vehicle drive system. This prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle while the charger is plugged in and potentially damaging the vehicle and charger. Long-Term Storage Charge IQ System, PowerDrive, and Precedent vehicles with GE PowerDrive chargers are designed to be left connected with AC power to the charger during off-season storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate the charger every 15 days. To return the vehicle to service, unplug the charger DC cord, wait 15 seconds for the computer to reset, and plug the charger back in. See following WARNING. This will ensure the batteries are at their optimum charge prior to returning the vehicle to service.
WARNING
The charger plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle (Figure 6-4, Page 6-5). Jerking or pulling the DC cord out quickly could cause arcing and burning that could damage the plug and receptacle and could cause batteries to explode (Figure 6-5, Page 6-5).

Precedent, IQ System and PowerDrive vehicles, feature a dash mounted warning light (above the steering column) that, when the vehicle is in operation, indicates low battery voltage or, when the vehicle is being charged, indicates a charging problem. The battery warning light is controlled by the onboard computer. When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC power to charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows: The battery warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer will retain in memory the amount of charge needed to replenish the batteries and will complete the charge during the next charge cycle. When the charger DC cord is unplugged during a charge cycle, the battery warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds (25 seconds for Precedent vehicles) if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for 60 minutes of operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to completion as soon as possible. The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals (25 seconds, at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), if the charger times out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer. The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals (25 seconds, at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), during a charge cycle (with the DC plug still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC power is restored. Page 6-2 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual

Prior to servicing the charger, disconnect the AC power supply cord from the wall outlet and the DC plug from the vehicle charger receptacle. The battery charger DC plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle (Figure 6-4, Page 6-5). Jerking or pulling the DC cord out quickly could cause arcing that could damage the plug and receptacle and could cause batteries to explode (Figure 6-5, Page 6-5). Do not connect the charger to battery packs that are not compatible with the DC output voltage specified on the charger. Overheating and transformer burnout will result. Do not use a battery charger if the cord, plug, or receptacle is damaged in any way. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Failure to heed this warning could result in a fire, property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Do not use a battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, was dropped, or was otherwise damaged. Make sure it is operating properly before putting it back in use. Each charger should have its own 15 or 20 ampere branch circuit protection (circuit breaker or fuse), in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, and local codes and ordinances. Improper AC supply circuit protection may result in a fire. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an electrical shock. Do not use an adapter to plug charger into a two-blade outlet or extension cord. Extension cord or outlet must accept grounded three-blade plug. The use of an improper extension cord could result in fire or electric shock. Chargers can ignite flammable materials and vapors. Do not use near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinner, or other flammables. Keep charger dry Do not expose to rain. Do not block or cover the charger ventilation slots. The slots provide ventilation and prevent the charger from overheating. Do not allow clothing, blankets, or other materials to cover the charger. Do not allow the charger to operate for more than 30 minutes at 19 or more amperes. Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines. Surge arrestors will help protect electrical components in the charger and on the vehicle from all but direct or close lightening strikes.
Page 6-5
AC POWER CONNECTION
The AC line to which the charger is to be connected must be of the proper AC input voltage for the charger and must be capable of supplying sufficient current. See Section 2 Charger Identification and Specifications. With charger DC output cord disconnected, connect the power supply cord to an AC supply. See Section 2 Charger Identification and Specifications. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the battery charger must be grounded. The charger is equipped with an AC electric cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. It is for use on a nominal 120 volt, 60 hertz circuit. The AC plug must be connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances. The use of an extension cord with the charger should be avoided. If an extension cord must be used, use a three-conductor no. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or no. 14 SWG (British Standard Wire Gauge), heavyduty cord with ground, properly wired and in good electrical condition. Keep it as short as possible (no more than 12 feet (3.7 meters)). Place all cords so they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subject to damage or stress. Ensure that the charger ventilation slots are unobstructed and that there is adequate ventilation.
CHARGING BATTERIES
WARNING
Do not bypass the sense lead fuse (not applicable to Precedent vehicles). Be sure the fuse link is clean and tight (not applicable to Precedent vehicles). Be sure all wire connections at the receptacle are clean and tight. Do not rock or bend the plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (Figure 6-4, Page 6-5). Do not pull on the DC cord (Figure 6-5, Page 6-5). Do not twist, rock or bend the plug. To disconnect the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug by the handle and pull the plug straight out of the receptacle. Do not connect a charger to the receptacle if the charger cord, plug, or the vehicle receptacle is broken, damaged in any manner, or does not make a good electrical connection. Fire or personal injury can result. Have it replaced by a qualified service person immediately. Failure to follow these instructions could result in damage to the charger cord, the plug, and (or) the vehicle receptacle. Do not use a charger if: - The plug is too loose or does not make a good connection. - The plug and receptacle feel hotter than normal during charge. - The plug pin or receptacle contacts are bent or corroded. - The plug, receptacle, or cords are cut, worn, have any exposed wires or are damaged in any way. Using the charger with any of the above symptoms could result in a fire, property damage, personal injury, or death. 1. With the charger DC cord disconnected from the vehicle charger receptacle, connect the AC power supply cord to an AC outlet designed to provide the proper AC voltage for the charger. Page 6-6 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
2. Connect the charger DC plug to the vehicle charger receptacle located on the seat support panel (Figure 6-4, Page 6-5). The charger will activate automatically within 2 to 15 seconds after the DC plug is connected. See following WARNING.
WARNING
Do not rock or bend the DC plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp the plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (Figure 6-4, Page 6-5). 3. All vehicles except Precedent: 10 to 20 seconds after the charger activates, it will shut off again to run a self-diagnostic program (the ammeter will drop to 0). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter will return to previous rate of charge). 4. All vehicles: Monitor the ammeter for the correct charge rate. The initial charge rate will vary from 15 to 19 amps, depending upon the condition and depth of discharge of the batteries. Slight variations in the initial charge rate may also result from AC line input voltages which are higher or lower than the nominal input voltage. Higher AC line voltages increase the initial charge rate while lower AC line voltages reduce the initial charge rate. 5. All vehicles except Precedent: Monitor the ammeter for about 30 seconds. Under normal operating conditions (when the charger is on and the batteries are discharged), the ammeter will drop to zero for 2 to 3 seconds at the beginning of each charge cycle in order to perform a self-diagnostic test. This test will be repeated at one hour and two hours into the charge cycle. See following NOTE. NOTE: If the batteries are in a fully charged state and the vehicle has not been driven, the onboard computer will not perform the self-diagnostic test. Batteries should be put on charge at the end of each day even if the vehicle has been used for only a short amount of time (even if for only 10 minutes). When air temperatures fall below 65 F (18.3 C), batteries charged in unheated areas should be placed on charge as soon as possible after use. Cold batteries require more time to fully charge. New batteries will not deliver their full range until the vehicle has been driven and recharged from 20 to 50 times. Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 energy units of discharge (or 36 holes of golf) between charges until the batteries have been properly seasoned (20 to 50 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car recommends that electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 energy units of discharge or each night in order to avoid deep discharging the batteries. Charging between rounds will also extend battery life; use the CDM (Communication Display Module) (CCI P/N 101831801). See Communication Display Module in Section 11 of the appropriate maintenance and service manual.

1. With the DC plug disconnected from the vehicle charger receptacle, insert the AC cord into an outlet. The charger relay should NOT close. A multimeter set to volts DC and connected across the DC plug positive (+) and negative () pins should indicate zero volts. No transformer hum should be heard. 2. Disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet and connect the DC plug to the receptacle. The charger relay should close with an audible click after a 2 to 15 second delay. See following NOTE. NOTE: Monitor the charge cycle to make sure the charger turns off properly. If the charge cycle is interrupted, and the batteries are less than 90% charged, the battery warning light will illuminate intermittently.

Checking Battery Condition After a charge Cycle

It is common practice for technicians to check the condition of a set of batteries after they have been charged to ensure they have received a complete charge before the vehicle is used. With IQ System, PowerDrive, and Precedent vehicles, this is not necessary; the onboard computer controls and monitors the charge cycle. If any problem occurs during a charge cycle, the battery warning light, located above the steering column in the center dash panel, will illuminate intermittently. See following NOTE. If the battery warning light is illuminated after a charge cycle, refer to the troubleshooting chart in the maintenance and service manual appropriate for your battery charger. If you do not have this publication, contact your Club Car representative. If the specified test procedures identify no problems, plug the DC cord into the vehicle and let it charge until the charger shuts off automatically. If a problem is found, correct it and then charge the vehicle. Normal voltage near the end of a charge cycle should be approximately 59 to 63 volts.

Failure of the transformer may be caused by aging or a short circuit in adjacent coil turns. If the transformer has failed, the ammeter will indicate low output or no output; however, the transformer may hum. A blown AC line fuse or tripped AC circuit breaker in the charger or the storage facility may be caused by an improperly wired charger or a failed transformer. An AC circuit test should be done before performing this test procedure to ensure the continuity of the AC cord, internal AC circuit breaker, and charger wiring. See Test Procedure 3 AC Power and Continuity Test of AC Circuit on page 6-15. 1. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet and DC plug from the vehicle receptacle. 2. Remove the charger cover. 3. Disconnect the two yellow transformer secondary coil wires (1 and 5) from the rectifier (Figure 6-16, Page 6-19). 4. To apply AC power directly to the transformer primary coil, the relay must be bypassed. 4.1. To bypass the relay, remove the orange wire (3) from the AC circuit breaker and disconnect the brown wire (4) from the relay. Connect the brown wire (4) to the AC circuit breaker (Figure 6-16, Page 6-19). See following DANGER. Page 6-18 2005 Domestic Battery Charger Maintenance and Service Manual
Test Procedures
DANGER
Do not touch any wire or component in the battery charger while AC power is present. Failure to heed this warning will result in an electric shock. 5. Make sure the secondary coil wires are not touching one another. With the relay bypassed, insert the AC plug into an outlet. If the AC line fuse blows or AC circuit breaker trips, the transformer is shorted internally and must be replaced. 6. If the AC line fuse does not blow or the AC circuit breaker does not trip, check the transformer secondary coil voltage. 7. Disconnect AC cord from the wall outlet. 8. Using alligator clips and a multimeter set to 500 volts AC, connect the multimeter probes to the secondary transformer coil wires (1 and 5). 9. Connect the AC cord to the wall outlet and monitor the multimeter for the secondary coil voltage. If measured voltage is approximately 42.5 volts AC or lower for the secondary coil, the transformer is shorted internally and must be replaced (Figure 6-16, Page 6-19). 10. If the voltage reading is normal (43 volts AC or higher), the transformer is operational. Disconnect the AC plug from the wall receptacle and check the continuity of the DC circuit. See Test Procedure 5 Charger DC Circuit Continuity Test on page 6-17. 11. When troubleshooting and repairs are complete, properly connect the relay wiring. See following WARNING.
